What would your pricing be? Starter pack at $35/month for 500 users sounds like $35/month and I outsource auth to a company that is also on the hook for “enterprise” security :) I …

Theoretically, ReScript will support ReasonML syntax, and theoretically ReasonML can still be used for native development. The messaging isn't clear on ReasonML's future at ALL tho…
